WHO WE ARE
Since 1996, almost 30 years, the Pagan Interest Circle (PICT) of the First Unitarian Universalist Church Society of San Francisco, a Chapter organization of CUUPS, has been meeting for monthly Full Moon Rituals on the Saturday evening closest to the Full Moon, and for the solar pagan holidays of Winter Solstice and Beltane. We are an open circle dedicated to providing ritual space for all respectful families and individuals of any age. Our policy requires that our rituals are clean and sober, drugs, alcohol, fragrance and animal free. Individuals who rely on an animal companion are welcome but will need to secure their animal away from the the ritual room/space.

Upcoming
The Pagan Interest Circle (PICT) Invites You to Start Your New Year with a Ritual Focusing on Hearth and Home and What Sustains Us. We meet in the Chapel THIS Saturday, January 3rd, 2026, at 6:45 P.M.
​
The Yuletide has barely ended, and some of us are just returning home from holidays spent with family and friends afar.
​
This first Full Moon of 2026 rises at 2:04 A.M. on January 3rd, and its energy is all about coming home: to rest, reflect, renew, and shift our focus from others to ourselves.
​
While it’s traditional for people in our culture to set New Year resolutions at this time, pagans know that one must go inward to draw power for any intention.
​
In Saturday’s ritual, we will check in with our authentic selves and “clean house,” readying ourselves for powerful magic and manifestation of our intentions for the New Year.
​
You are welcome to bring family/friends and maybe some finger food or a non-alcoholic beverage to share after the ritual.
​
While the Pagan Interest Circle does not require membership to attend or present a ritual, here’s a friendly reminder that PICT’s annual membership donation, $20, is now due.
Any questions? Please contact Christine Patch-Lindsay at cplhealer@comcast.net.
